"General, General, there is a holy decree arrived, please go and receive it. Han Jin walked to the backyard and entered Meng Tian's room and said to Meng Tian.

Hearing that someone from Xianyang came to deliver the message, Meng Tian raised his head and asked, "Oh, in this way, it seems that the person we went to Xianyang City to deliver the good news should have arrived, but why did it take so many days for the will to arrive." ”

Han Jin didn't have any idea about this, he just said, "Whatever, since it is His Majesty's will, it is better than nothing." The eunuch is already waiting for the general in the front hall, so let's go over quickly. ”

"Good. ”

Meng Tian and Han Jin entered the antechamber of the County Guard's Mansion, where many people were already waiting.

Meng Tian walked in front of everyone, saw the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and asked, "Hey, why is this father-in-law coming to deliver the decree this time? Wasn't it all Gonggong Yang who was beside His Majesty before?"

The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree saw Meng Tian asking, and he took out the words he had already prepared and replied: "General Meng doesn't know, Gonggong Yang is old, and the road from Xianyang City to Beijun is bumpy, and His Majesty is not in good health, so this time Gonggong Yang stayed by His Majesty's side to serve and came as a villain." ”

Meng Tian sighed, "Then since this is the case, then ask my father-in-law to read out His Majesty's will." ”

Meng Tian stood at the front of the crowd, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Minister Meng Tian accepts the order." ”

"I am very pleased to hear that Meng Qing won a great victory in northern Xinjiang this time and killed 600,000 Hu people's army. There was no war in northern Xinjiang, and I was physically inconvenient, so Yun Mengtian quickly returned to Xianyang. "There were not many words on the decree, and the eunuch who passed the decree quickly finished reading.

"Meng Tian obeys His Majesty's holy words. Meng Tian stood up and took the decree from the eunuch's hand.

Fu Su asked on the side: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, how is my father's health?"

The eunuch bent down to Fusu and said: "Your Majesty is in good health, Your Majesty has been missing Gongzi recently, since the war has been decided, presumably Your Majesty will soon issue an order to announce Gongzi's return, please stay for a few days." ”

Meng Tian also said to Fusu: "Don't worry, Childe, I'll go back first, after I return to Xianyang, I will definitely let Your Majesty take Childe back, please rest assured." ”

"Mr. Xie. ”

The eunuch said to Meng Tian: "General, Your Majesty has an order, and the general will set off today, it is still early at this time, I don't know when the general will be able to leave?"

"Are you leaving today? Isn't that a little rushed?" Meng Tianci asked.

"This is what Your Majesty meant, hoping to see the general earlier, so I specially instructed the villain before the villain set off, and the villain did not dare to disobey the order. The eunuch said.

Meng Tian pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since Your Majesty has such orders, then I will obey them. He turned his head to Han Jin and said, "This father-in-law has come to deliver the decree, please settle down for a while, eat something, and then I will arrange some military affairs, and then set off with my father-in-law." ”

Seeing this, the eunuch didn't dare to chase too closely, so he had to follow Han into another place.

"Father, who is my father going to take with me this time to Xianyang City?" Meng Tianci asked.

Meng Tian looked at the people in front of him, and he said: "I naturally want to bring you all back, but Your Majesty's will only says that I want to return to Xianyang quickly, and he didn't say that he wants me to take any of you, not even Gongzi, it should be for me to go back alone." But that's fine, with you people by Fusu's side, I'll rest assured that he's safe. As long as you protect the safety of your son, I will ask Your Majesty to let you go back in a few days. ”

"The general is right, although the Hu people in the north are now gone, the defense of the Great Wall still needs to pay more attention, after all, the Western Regions have suffered such a big loss this time, maybe they will send someone to take revenge. Meng Li said.

Meng Tian nodded, it was still Meng Li who understood his mind best.

Everyone dispersed, Fusu also left the room, and Meng Tian only left Meng Tianci.

"Is there anything else the father has to tell the child?" asked Meng Tianci, seeing that his father had left him behind.

Meng Tianci looked at Meng Tianci, who was about the same height as himself, he had been running around for so many years, and there was almost no discipline for Meng Tianci, and the father and son rarely talked together. This time, Meng Tianci led the vanguard army to fight with the Hu people outside the city of Beijun, and was severely injured by the Hu people, which really jumped Meng Tian. Fortunately, he was unharmed by God, otherwise Meng Tian wouldn't know how to explain to Zi Yanran.

"God, you're almost twenty years old this year, aren't you?" asked Meng Tian.

Meng Tianci scratched his head and smiled, and said, "Father's memory is really good, the child will be twenty years old in a month." ”

Hearing the ridicule in Meng Tianci's words, Meng Tian also blushed, this is what Meng Li said to him yesterday, otherwise he really didn't know. "I'm twenty years old, and I'm a year old. When your mother and I met in Beijun, fell in love, and then got married, it was also your age, tell my father, do you have a woman you like Chinese?"

Meng Tianci didn't expect his father to ask him this question, he lowered his head and didn't answer his father immediately.

"Why, my son Meng Tian is so good, doesn't any woman like you?" Meng Tian said with a deliberately straight face.

"No, no, no, what is my father talking about?" Meng Tianci hurriedly explained, "Mother has already found a marriage for the child in Xianyang City, and is the daughter of a minister of the court, and the mother said that after the child follows his father to win the battle this time, he will ask his father to come to Xianyang City to propose marriage." ”

"Oh, your mother hasn't told me anything, are you mother and son just waiting for me to be anxious? Meng Tian said with a smile.

Meng Tianci blushed and said, "No, my mother is afraid that my father will not let me come to Northern Xinjiang after learning about this." ”

Meng Tian walked up to Meng Tianci, stretched out his hand to stroke Meng Tianci's head, and said to him: "Tianci, you are the most precious treasure of your father and your mother, and your father and mother will save you even if they risk their lives." After I married your mother, your mother should have had a big brother for some other reason, but unfortunately your eldest brother died in your mother's womb before he was born. Your mother was so sad that she almost couldn't give birth, but fortunately, God has eyes, and I found the grass of paradise for your mother, and that's why you are born. ”

"The child knows, so the father named the child. Meng Tianci heard Zi Yanran talk about this past.

Meng Tian nodded, and he untied the True Gang Sword from his waist and handed it to Meng Tianci's hand. Meng Tianci didn't understand why his father handed over the sword he had worn for many years, and asked, "What does my father mean by this? This true sword is a rare divine weapon in the world, and my father should wear it on his body." ”

Meng Tian pressed the Zhengang sword heavily in Meng Tianci's hand, and he said: "This sword has followed me for many years, it was given to me by a strange person back then, and this sword has saved my life many times, and now that my father is old, I don't know how many times I can go to the battlefield, this sword is no longer of much use by my side, so it needs a new owner." I handed it over to you, which means that the future Meng family army will rely on you to support it, do you understand?"

Meng Tianci's eyes were red, he took the Zhengang sword, then knelt down in front of his father, and said heavily: "Father, rest assured, the Meng family army will not insult the three words of the Meng family army in the hands of the child." Loyal to the liver and courage, brave and brave, the child remembers it in his heart. ”

Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction, fortunately, the Meng family army still has Meng Li, Du Hui and other old people are here, and with their assistance, the Meng family army will definitely become stronger and stronger.

"General, that father-in-law is urging the general to leave. There was a voice outside the door.

Meng Tian helped Meng Tianci up, nodded to him, and then turned and walked outside the house.

At the gate of the county guard's mansion, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree sat in a carriage, surrounded by several forbidden soldiers who had protected him. Several of Meng Tian's pro-soldiers were also there, waiting for Meng Tian.

Fusu, Meng Li, Du Hui, Zhou Zhe, Wang Li, and other Meng generals and generals were all standing at the gate of the county guard's mansion, and when they saw Meng Tian coming out, everyone looked at him.

Meng Tian walked down the steps of the county guard's mansion, turned over and rode on his horse, and then hugged his fists and said to the people who saw him off: "Everyone, Meng Tian will go first, and we will see you in Xianyang City in the future." After saying that, he looked at Fusu and nodded at him.

Fusu looked at the teacher and nodded in response.

"The general goes all the way. Everyone also clasped their fists towards Meng Tian and said in unison.

"Drive~" Meng Tian raised his horsewhip, and the horse under his crotch walked in the direction of the city gate.

Out of Beijun City, the speed of the group suddenly accelerated, and Meng Tian also wanted to rush to Xianyang City earlier, so there was no pause along the way except for the necessary rest. However, on the second day, Meng Tian saw a eunuch protected by the forbidden army passing by them, heading in the direction of Beijun, and he felt a little strange, how could there be another team to deliver the decree, and it was a day short of himself.

Meng Tian was puzzled, but he didn't think about it that much, after all, this time the army won the battle in Beijun, even if it was a decree to issue a reward, it was normal.

Two days later, less than half a day away from Xianyang City, after having lunch in the post house on the side of the straight road, Meng Tian wanted to set off, but the eunuch who was with him seemed to have eaten a bad stomach and stayed in the toilet and did not come out.

Meng Tian didn't want to delay more, so he had to let the eunuch tell him that he rushed to Xianyang first, so he didn't wait for him anymore.

After Meng Tian left, the eunuch came out of the room, and saw that his face was ruddy, not at all like he had eaten a bad stomach. "Hmph, Meng Tian, since you are in a hurry to die, then our family will naturally not accompany you. ”

Continue to walk along the straight road, and the majestic walls of Xianyang City in the distance can already be seen.

For some reason, the closer he got to Xianyang City, the more uneasy Meng Tian's heart became. There should have been a lot of pedestrians on this straight road at this time, but since Meng Tian came out of the post house and rode a horse for such a long distance, he didn't see a single pedestrian on this road, which is really a bit strange.

Continuing to hurry with doubts, when he was about to enter the range of Xianyang City, suddenly there was a sound of bows and arrows leaving the strings in the woods on the side of the straight road.

"It's not good, there's an ambush!" Meng Tian immediately leaned sideways to hide on the side of the horse's belly, and then said loudly.

As soon as Meng Tian finished speaking, arrows rained down on them from the dense forests on both sides.
